The show follows a group of kids stranded on a South Pacific island after the crash of a small plane while flying to an eco-adventure camping trip in Micronesia. A video diary, used as a plot device, powered by a solar battery charger, allows the kids to talk to the camera about the everyday struggles with the island, and each other.

Captain Russell: Okay, kiddies, who wants to be the big boss? (Nathan and Daley raise their hands while the others just stare in their direction)Captain Russell:(sarcastically and pretending he just notices them) Oh! Big surprise! Why don't you two fight it out, huh? May the best dork or dorkette win.Big Buttcracks (leaves, laughing)

(The pilot hands out food to the three who are going to look for something in the forest with him)Abby: Is this chicken? I'm a vegan. Captain Russell: A who? Abby: It means I don't eat meat. Captain Russell: I don't eat vegetables. What does that make me?

Abby: A meathead.

Nathan: I used to be a boyscout. I think I'd know how to make a fire in the wilderness. Jackson: I have an idea.

Daley: Ewww! Leeches are on the back of my legs! Get 'em off, get 'em off!! Lex: Don't pick at the leeches. Wait until they fall off. Daley: Well, when will they fall off? Lex: When they get their fair share of blood. Daley: Ewwww!!!

Lex:(on his video diary) We've been stuck here a week. Nobody says it but I know we're all worried that we haven't seen any sign of a search. No boats, no planes, nothing. It's scary. So far we've done an okay job of surviving, but we've got a new problem, we're all going a little nuts from being so bored.

(After Daley and Nathan joke with Jackson)

Daley: Cool down.

Nathan: Dude, we were just kidding.

Jackson: Don't "dude" me!

Jackson: You said I don't belong at your school because I come from a "totally different world."

Nathan: But I didn't mean it!!

Jackson: You never know what guys like me are gonna do.

Eric: Hey Nathan? Watch you're back.

Taylor: If you keep this up, the only thing your gonna feel is my foot on the side of your head.

Melissa: Isn't it great that Taylor thought up this Chilly-weenie thing?

Jackson: Holidays. I don't know what it is, but they really bring out the best in people...or the worst...or both.

Taylor: Look, everyone here is good at something. Nathan's eager and strong.Daley's perfect...sort of. Lex is a genius. Melissa keeps us all together. Eric's a rat, but he's good at it. You're like some kind of Yoda. And...then there's me. I don't have a whole lot to offer.

Jackson: You know that's not true.

Taylor: It is. But, there is something I'm good at. I know how to throw a party and have fun. And that's just what I'm gonna do.
